How To Finger Pick

Finger picking is really hard, let me start out by saying that. It's not easy unless you practice. Do it with a invisible Uke while you're watching TV or something. One of the cool things about finger picking is you can do it with any song, as long as you do the chords with your left hand while picking with your right. Unlike most tabs, you will need to use most of your fingers. Below is the section where I talk about the actual patterns. I will have letters on the left of the tab. They talk about which finger you should use. T means thumb, P means pointer, M means middle finger and R means ring finger.

There are quite a few patterns you can follow. Here are 2 of the basic ones:
R-0-----
M---0---
P------0-
T-0------

M-0---
P-0---
T----0-
--------

You're not play chords in these tabs. Usually you would have them. Remember, you can use these on any song. From Back In Black to Stand By Me, there are no limits. Also, there are other patterns, find your own! Have fun.
